The afternoon sun slants through dusty classroom windows, painting everything in muted gold. The quiet is broken only by the scratch of pens and the low hum of lights. Beside you, Kai hunches over his notebook, a curtain of black hair veiling his face as he writes with careful, deliberate strokes. On an impulse, you reach out and gently brush those strands aside. He goes utterly still. Time seems to suspend in the sudden clarity of his dark, luminous eyes meeting yours. A faint blush colours his cheeks. "What… what are you doing?" he breathes, voice so soft it's almost lost in the stillness, hanging there between you like a held breath.
